Chapter 17: The Aggrieved Brother

"Who's coming?" The owner of the horse village lowered his face and asked.

"It's all here, Eighth Master, Master Lin, a few leaders!"

"How many people did you bring?"

"That's not much, a dozen or so."

There was instant silence.

Except for the Huo family and his party, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

Huo Wu's father and son arrived at the village for only two hours, although Huo Wu had mentioned that he had asked the owner of the horse village to tell the Python King Village, but it was just talking, and he didn't really send news to that side overnight.

At this time, people came from Python King Village, and the posture of all the staff was dispatched, and only these people were brought with them, not like they came to the door, but like they were guests.

Before, the owner of the horse village was faintly proud of the news that he was familiar with the village over there, and now he showed that he had the eyeliner of the other party on his side, how could he be happy?

The two villages are separated by a small twenty miles, and after Huo Wu's father and son arrived, someone immediately sent news there.

A few leaders are you look at me, I look at you, but with a little eagerness.

One of them got up and said, "Fifth Master, Sixth Master, why don't you 'stay' them, aren't they worried about our village?" Just let them come back 'honestly', we are also short of manpower! ”

Another said: "Yes, look at their frivolity, this black python mountain can't hold them, take advantage of their small number, clean them up first." ”

"What's the idea? When who's a fool? The owner of the horse village darkened his face, scolded twice, and looked at Huo Wu: "Fifth brother, this ......"

The two villages have the same origin, and there have been occasional frictions in recent years, and it has not been time to tear their faces.

The other party came for Huo Wu again, if he really acted as his subordinates suggested, he would take advantage of himself to become a villain. If the villain can succeed, it doesn't matter, but there is no Lin family kid who is heavy on Du Lao among the people, and he obviously stays behind.

Huo Wu put down the wine cup: "Come on, Xue Biao's kid must be there, don't let him see the joke!" ”

The owner of the horse village seemed to have an idea, so he didn't get up, but only instructed his daughter: "Since your eighth uncle is here, you will go to greet you!" ”

The foal answered, beckoning a few of his men to leave in a hurry.

Huo Bao looked at it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be curious about the "Eighth Master".

Listening to the meaning of the words between the father and the master of the horse village, he is really close to the "eighth master", even if he splits the manpower, he doesn't complain much, and the only thing he was dissatisfied with before was that he talked about the foal's relatives; is different for Xue Biao, neither of them is close, and they are alienated and guarded.

One less moment, heavy footsteps were heard from far and near.

"Dada-da-da!" The sound of heavy footsteps seemed to shake the ground.

There were more than a dozen people in front of him, led by a tall and strong fat man.

Huo Bao visually inspected the big fat man who was two people wide, and visually measured the weight of more than 200 catties.

"Fifth brother! Fifth brother! When the fat man saw Huo Wu, he sat on the ground all of a sudden, his mouth was grinning, and he actually cried loudly. looked at his expression, as if he had been wronged.

Huo Wu saw that something was wrong, got up and went over to help him: "Why did you lose weight like this?" Still crying? Crying fart? It's reasonable to pit your sixth brother, the sixth brother hasn't cried yet, but you have the face to cry? ”

The fat man didn't answer, so he hugged Huo Wu's thigh and cried.

The cry was terrible, startling countless night birds.

Even the owner of the horse village couldn't sit still and walked over: "What the hell is going on?" Is this skinny almost gone? Why are you still crying, Lao Qi bullied you? ”

The fat man was out of breath crying and speechless.

Huo Wu and the owner of the horse village looked at a person a few steps away.

The man was thirty-seven or eight years old, with brocade on his body, with a smile on his face, looking extremely amiable, and walked forward, with a little closeness and said, "Fifth brother, sixth brother!" ”

"Biaozi, the eighth child has always been a big heart, what happened to him?" Huo Wu didn't greet him, and asked directly.

"Well, that's a long story! That's what happened......"

According to this person's words, the fat man is Du Laoba, and the reason why he is uncomfortable is that he "can't help himself" when he sees Huo Wu.

The reason why he cried so aggrieved was because Du Laoba got the news three years ago that his uncles and aunts were all killed by the government, and he was the only one left in the family.

He was determined to take revenge, and he didn't want to involve the father and daughter of the owner of the horse village, so he started a new stove, and listened to Xue Biao's advice to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

Now that the White Shirts are rebelling, Du Laoba wants to take people down the mountain to join the White Shirts, but he is not worried about his family, so he recalls the family affairs of the Lin family boy and Ma Juzi, and wants to send those subordinates back to Python Village for resettlement.

Unexpectedly, when he heard the news that Huo Wu was going up the mountain at this time, Du Laoba couldn't wait for a moment, so he came over to see his brother.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but "can't help myself".

Huo Wu's gaze was like a knife, falling on Xue Biao.

"The eighth child just slaughtered a *** folk girl's brute, and everyone ran away, how can he still implicate his family?"

Xue Biao's eyes dodged, and his expression was a little stiff: "Who knows, most of it is the old Bazhi's production that provokes people's eyes." Those beasts of the government can scrape down three feet from the flat ground, and they have always stared at the common people. ”

Du Laoba was originally tired and wanted to stop, but when he heard the words, he cried again.

"Biaozi is an empirical one, otherwise he wouldn't have been so well prepared, so that the prefect's plan would have failed!" Huo Wu said softly: "It's just that my heart is a little ruthless, my niece is only a few years old, so I can't bear to leave her behind!" ”

Xue Biao raised his head sharply and looked at Huo Wu.

Huo Wu had already turned his head and touched Du Laoba's head: "Okay, howl a fart!" There is revenge, there is revenge, there is injustice, what kind of world is this, what are you doing with your pockets? ”

"Fifth brother, fifth brother!" Du Laoba was like a child, his face was full of dependence.

"If the government harms you, we will turn against the government; It's not the government, but also to find the root cause of the disaster! Huo Wu was really annoyed, gritted his teeth, and when he said the word "bane", his eyes fell on Xue Biao.

Xue Biao's face was covered in blood.

Not only Huo Wu, but even the owner of the horse village looked at Xue Biao with a bad look.

Du Laoba was wanted for murder thirteen years ago, where is his uncle and aunt, an ordinary family with dozens of acres of land at home, really so unlucky, and after ten years, he was killed tragically by a nephew who had separated from his family early?

Huo Wu could think of Xue Biao, and the owner of the horse village who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside naturally doubted Xue Biao.

Du Lao Baxi has good food and comfort, and he is not an ambitious person, if there is no reason for "family feud", he will not start a new business three years ago.

Is this "family feud" really a family feud? Or is it the calculation of someone with a heart?

Xue Biao was a bachelor, and immediately knelt down, with a little grievance: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, although I don't know why you all suspect me, it's really not me!" The old eight families are in Songjiang, I have been in Jinling all these years, I am a small businessman, where can I reach out to the official mansion in Songjiang? Don't say anything about wealth and wisdom, my brother only says one sentence here, if the eighth family is really killed by me, I will not die well, and my blood will be cut off! At the end of the sentence, he raised his right hand and solemnly swore an oath.

This style made everyone stunned.

Du Laoba wiped two handfuls on his face, sniffled twice, and said with a puzzled face: "What did Brother Qi say?" Fifth brother and sixth brother suspect what you are doing? My family's business was done by the county magistrate's brother-in-law, what is the matter with Brother Guan? ”
